This collection of original stories takes the broadest possible look at the theme of ghosts and other chilling tales. In the title story, a lonely woman conjures up a companion; a dog. They are friends for life, but the coming of a visitor questions his validity in the mind of reader and narrator. Other stories - all newly commissioned - feature a ghostly mansion in a Merthyr park, a lonely soldier permanently on guard at a concentration camp and a row of small wet footprints on floorboards. Whatever your supernatural pleasure, draw up a chair and enjoy.
